“…The 5 D 0 → 7 F 0 transition is located at 576.9 nm (17,334 cm −1 ), the 5 D 0 → 7 F 1 transition at 585.9 nm (17,068 cm −1 ), the 5 D 0 → 7 F 2 transition at 616.5 nm (16,221 cm −1 ), the 5 D 0 → 7 F 3 transition at 655.2 nm (15,262 cm −1 ), the 5 D 0 → 7 F 4 transition at 700.5 nm (14,275 cm −1 ), the 5 D 0 → 7 F 5 transition at 742.7 nm (13,464 cm −1 ) and the 5 D 0 → 7 F 6 transition at 805.3 nm (12,418 cm −1 ). The 5 D 0 → 7 F 0 transition is split into three components located at 571.6 nm (17,495 cm −1 ), 576.9 nm (17,334 cm −1 ) and 579.9 nm (17,244 cm −1 ), indicating that Eu 3+ ions are located at least into three different crystallographic sites in this composite [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]. A difference between the intensity ratio of components is visible.…”
